Police are seeking the public’s help in locating a man they said broke into a Pierce Lane house Thursday afternoon leaving a teenage girl shaken but uninjured.

The suspect is identified as a 35- to 40-year-old white male, with crew cut, standing about 5-foot-7 and wearing a black T-shirt with the word Boston on it.

The homeowners’ 18-year-old daughter told police she had been sleeping when she was awakened by her dog barking just after 2 p.m. She told police she heard banging noises and walked into the kitchen to investigate.

She reportedly came face to face with the intruder, who cursed and ran toward the kitchen window.

The girl ran in the other direction, locked herself in a bathroom and called 911, according to police.

The victim’s mother showed up shortly thereafter and told police nothing appeared to be missing, save for a bottle of Canada Dry soda taken from a cooler on the porch.

Police said the man apparently entered through the kitchen window at the rear of the house, which is close to a golf course.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact police at 508-252-3722 and to ask for either detective Eastwood or Ferreira.
